African Cup of Nations Semi Final

[Gilps]

Ivory Coast won 1-0. The goal was scored by Didier Drogba in the 47th minute, uncharacteristicly latching onto a long ball.

the african championship is really boring, you hardly see any goals in it and the only excitment comes from the home nation.

 

European, south american and even asian championship offer much more excitment

Rubbish there have been some great games and the home nation will be out in a few hours with a bit of luck!!

[Ombudsam]

Then you can lose in the final. Drogba was class today as were the two toures

I wanted Nigeria to beat Ivory Coast just because Drogba was playing for Ivory Coast.

Some of the football is still incredibly naive...like watching a bunch of unsupervised 14 year olds. Many of the players being picked purely for their physical attributes.

 

Had to laugh at Mido - what a child ! He'd been awful and threw a right fit when he got substituted.

 

 

And that ref was bought.

[Guest Red Mist]

Surprise surprise, the hosts make it to the final yet again even though they're far from the best side in the competition, and get a lot of handy decisions in their favour from the ref. Just like Tunisia last time round. The African Cup is a joke.

there's highlights on the telly over the way (im in work) and i've just seen Mido kicking off there - was it just cos he got subbed? the way he reacted i thought the manager had not only taken him off but killed his family too! sheesh!

I think most of thr teams are far from naive most of them have euro mangers for some reason and they have coached the free flowing football they had 10 years ago out of some of the teams!

I think tunisia are the only team that play a clever style of football, they were unlucky to go out

 

 

Hope egypt go on to get their 6th title

Yea Tunisia played some good football. To be honest i think Egypt will win i do not think they are that good good and if they were no at home do not think they would get near the last 4 but the being at home think they may just do hope i am wrong!

[Earl Hafler]

And Senegal throwing on Issa Ba to put the Egyptians under pressure...

They're coached by Roger Lemerre and their leading scorer is a expatriated Brazillian.

Do not hate them and really glad there coach has trown Mido out of there squad i just do not want them to win it.Come on you elephants.

[Cobs]

LOL !!!

[Ombudsam]

Mido was comedy last night. Especially cos his replacement scored with his first touch. Senegal were robbed with that non-peno.

 

Drogba or no DEogba i want Ivory Coast to beat Egypt
